Release yourself too
<p>I see the four walls you built around me</p><p>I know what a cage looks like</p><p>You used me to aid your satisfaction</p><p>Are you pleased now?</p><p>Now that I give everything away</p><p><br></p><p>I know you from back then</p><p>I know what you've become and where you are headed</p><p><br></p><p>You think you are mighty but you are small in mind</p><p>You think you are wise but you're small in heart&nbsp;</p><p>Who can speak for you? No one</p><p>The oppressor doesn't have an advocate</p><p>Let the Judge judge righteously</p><p>The disgust of your fate awaits you</p><p>Now you want to make me yours so we can be headed down the same path</p><p><br></p><p>I know what a cage is</p><p>I knew you from way back</p><p>Look at me, let our eyes meet</p><p>Maybe I will find your hungry soul</p><p><br></p><p>Your life is yours so choose it</p><p>Will you let me go and release yourself too?</p>
